So here I am, after far too much neglect of affection towards the computer (i.e. blogging. South America has a way of separating you from the internet). But as I have a hard time with structure as it is, I will try my honest best to keep this updated! I canÂ´t thank you enough for caring enough to read about me life! IÂ´ll try to keep it spicy for ya! So the basics: here I find myself living... Read Full Entry

Reasons

One of the reasons I take long plane rides and endure tiresome bus trips.

Juicy

We stop at a roadside stand and pick up oh, only the sweetest, juiciest nectarines ive ever experienced.

Cave

I think frodo hid here once.

Who needs California?

Eyes of Camburgua

The Ojos de Camburgua are the bluest waters Ive ever seen. They appear to me like Puttputt waterfalls dyed blue...

Color

We may be shantytowns, but we´ll have color!!! I highly identify with with country.

My Uni

La Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. This campus is a old convent.

So much prettiness

Meet my neighbors

golden retriever puppies have my heart. the fence is messed up because when i walked past, i looked down and he was clinging to it with all fours a few feet off the ground. i collapsed with emotion. then i spent hours by his side.

Saturation scale.

people are just fans of colors here. i dig it.

Swimming in my favorite color

an amazing turquoise building.

Parece magia, pero es real.

¨It seems like magic, but it´s real.¨ Every time I pass this lifesize hunk of burning love in the metro, I think the same thing about his mullet.

mayonaise in a bag.

enough said. who needs a tub of lard when you can have a bag of it?

habitat

the lil´appartyment that makes me happy, where I unleash all my domestic instincts.

Teleferico

i´ve come to trust these creaky contraptions. this one goes out from a mountain over the andes and the city of santiago. breathtaking. or maybe thats just the claustrophobia and the lack of ventilation.

fall into the gap

yes, that is the door partially open. can´t decide which ones were scarier--the kind that lock you in with no ventilation or the ones that are broken and don´t close. either way, if we´re going to die in a teleferico, we´re going to have fun doing it.

All in one.

a green rose. pretty efficient, i´d say.

In the cablecar.

too much to take in.

Why I belong.

Some things just match

dive in

we went swimming in this pool at the top of the mountain that we traveled to by cable car. just a few days after leaving virginia in february, this was heaven.

Santiago

i really like this city. and these people.

Congratulations
I stumbled upon your blog... well, I was looking at Chile because I miss it so much and happened to read yours. Good luck to you in your new life in Chile. My 2 years there were some of my best and reading your blog reminding me of so much. I am currently living in Honduras and have so much trouble changing all my words from the Chilean ones I learned to ones they might understand here! It is a challenge but it is worth it, once you can speak Chilean you can speak any Spanish! Good luck and enjoy every moment, Kari

La Cueca Rapida
Hola! I love your blog so far, and since there's just one I will be eagerly anticipating the next entry. Are you from California too? I said the same thing on my visit to Chile (see my blog post) "Who needs California?!" Best thing of all, you take tons of pictures which I love. I just wish they enlarged bigger? Im returning to Chile in less than 2 weeks- 10 days in PN Torres del Paine, then 3 days in Santiago to party with friends; see Termas Colinas and Cajon de Maipo; Zapallar, Vina, Valpo and Quintay!! I can't wait. Realize Im jealous of you, because you are living there and I am living in California. *sigh, I guess Ill live vicariously through your blogs!!
